*NOTE: HexaViz runs on any PC equipped with DirectX 9-compatible graphics hardware capable of a WXGA display resolution. All modern Windows based PCs are capable of running HexaViz. It is possible to run this program under Windows XP SP3 or Vista SP1, provided a DirectX 9-compatible display driver is installed. Although the software works on these machines, we do not provide support for such legacy configurations.
